Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi has taken the meaning of the word – ‘cronyism‘ – to even greater heights. Talk about a super-bullet express gravy train.

Never mind the fact that Zaki Azmi leap-frogged from the stables of Umno to become a Federal Court judge (September 2007), and now head of the Appeals Court and the No. 2 judge in the country (December 2007).

Never mind the fact that Zaki Azmi hasn’t delivered any written judgement. (But it’s been established that he’s quite adept at sending SMSs)

Never mind the fact that there are many more senior and qualified judges on the bench.

Never mind the fact that he is a director of a number of lucrative companies, possibly making him the first multi-millionaire-judge in our illustrious history.

It’s like BBQ-ing your IC, then going around telling people you are actually British.

This chap could well be our new Chief Justice, possibly, in a matter of months, as the newly-appointed CJ retires in April 2009.

So folks.

If your daughters have been receiving between 30-100 SMSs/day, it’s time to activate your Defcon system. Hell, lock up your daughters. if you see them loitering around textile shops that come with an instant Kadi-Siam service.

Hold off filing that legal suit of yours.

And pray. Hard.

Well, it would seem like maybe he needs to be chief justice in order to finally put a stop to Nor Hayati Yahaya from harassing him. With this heightened position am sure she would give up on him finally.

But he sure sounds to be a real weirdo. But then again I am a fan of Boston Legal and this guy might just be the Malaysian version of Danny Crane! Hey, it might just be exciting times in the bench when this guy moves up eventually.

I guess from now on our lady lawyers can look forward to a lot more wins in the appeal courts at least for the moment. and when he ascends to being the next chief justice….well, just go watch Boston Legal! in the meantime when appearing before him…just watch his eye! And don’t go to textile shops in Perlis!

Sounds like the usual sleazy UMNO operative who thinks he can use money, connections and power get out of any embarassing situation scot-free.
This guy is being positioned to outdo even Eusoff Chin and Hamid Omar in terms being in the Executive’s pocket.

Liz’s anger and great dissatisfactions are felt. Her advise to families with young daughters seems to be heeded by few here.
I hardly know that person’s character…so will read and learn.
But sad to note the clear insincerity of UMNO’s again ….especially from the Appeals Court man….who can deny or approve an appeal to favor UMNO…not for fair judgment. ….since that man is known…pro UMNO by Liz.
Glad she told for all the read and understand…and we should know what to do with our votes….don’t we.

Extract :-
“Zaki, 60, is also seeking an (COURT)order that Nor Hayati or her representatives are not allowed to trespass, disturb or threaten him on the matter including by using the mass media”.

I am wondering what the grey areas are? Luckily Nor Hayati has not brazenly stalk and extort Zaki Azmi like the late Altantuya. If she did, I would imagine the outcome of a corpseless body.

Extract :-
“The 59th Federal Territory Consultative meeting states that a marriage performed by a Thai kadi outside his jurisdiction in Thailand is considered void”.

He knew it all the way, pre-meditated isn’t it? Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Well done! I guess Nor Hayati has been CASANOVA-ED.

Lizzie’s extract :-
“I guess from now on our lady lawyers can look forward to a lot more wins in the appeal courts at least for the moment”

Sorry to break anyone’s heart, but the prety ones only, only if they are willing to fully ” CO-OPERATES”.🙂

Lizzie’s extract:-
“This chap could well be our new Chief Justice, possibly, in a matter of months, as the newly-appointed CJ retires in April 2009”.

Upon his appointment as a Federal Court Judge, it’s the beginning of surrealistic nightmare and if the pundits calculation as of mine is correct when he assumed Chief Justice, you can re-name Malaysian Courts (mostly applied to cases of litigations and criminalities against any offshoots of the Government)-“Nightmares on Elm Street”.

On 30 November 1973, the United Nations General Assembly opened for signature and ratification the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (ICSPCA)[2] It defined the crime of apartheid as “inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them.”

Jedy continues:
I don’t know about you but our race-based National Economic Policy re-incarnated in many forms sure sounds like it was formulated “for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons (ie. the ‘Malays’) over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them”.

Hindraf organiser Uthayakumar who vehemently rejected the accusations, said: “I am not surprised he said that. Yesterday in court, the attorney-general linked us with LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) and today this.”

“Can I say that the IGP and AG are soliciting help and support from al-Qaeda? I am sure I will not be allowed to get away with it, but they will (by making the accusations).”

Of course the authorities in Malaysia can get away with all sorts of rubbish, and worse.

Abdullah came to power on the back of a plethora of promises to reform the Malaysian polity. Now we know he does not have the guts to institute reforms. Now we know he is a hostage to scumbags in Umno. He is hostage to racists, bigots, cronyism. Let us speak with one voice in the next election.

I read what IGP said about the Hindarf walk…I was there..near KLCC with the 10,000 or more sitting peacefully from 7am till 9am when all of a sudden……we got the tear gas and water treatments.. No one provoked anything. They gave warning to disperse…all stayed put….defying but behaving very calm and well…they took that as the reason to use tear gas and water cannons.
You see…Indians by nature are more sensitive than other races…out of great inferiority complex or what…I don’t know. Samy Vellu show be the expert to know. And they are protesting against the landlord…which is the government for unfair..unjust treatments. What’s wrong with that?
Why can’t Pak Lah say..’I heard you. Go back and sent your representatives to see me and we will sort things out”…why can’t a good kind PM say something like that… ….if he is truly the People’s PM? See how fast PM try to please the lawyers? Is that not double standards?
Taking advantage and expert to blame others..and worst still…bully a race that all know are weak and not well organized…is very cruel and cunning…weak not out of their own free will..but out of Samy Vellu never really care to bring his own race up.
Hearing Samy said….all got jobs and food is sickening and downright belittling his own race.
And here..Rahmat..ex Info minister…chipped in saying all are Malaysians citizens…got educated..got jobs…what more do they want?
They want equal opportunities and equal rights…you bloody fool.
They need a loving true Indian leader to lift them up to be at par with other races….you bloody fool!!
Yes..After the tear gas and water cannon treatments….the job to get them mad and being unreasonable has been accomplished by the police…so few spoke of Tamil Tigers…this or that to start a revolt….and in such huge groups of one race..there is bound to have all sorts of people participating…and those who spoke like that.maybe are gangsters…which I think the IGP know it be so….defying the police..not by the Indians in total….and that was taken up by IGP and use it as just cause for their cruel bullying actions. Go view the photos of injured participants …..worst than we saw from the US bad treatments to Iraqis..and these people are our Malaysians……not foreigners.

Why must the IGP reveal all these AFTER the Hindraf walk?
Why not tell in advance..so that maybe 99.9% including me..may not walk to support Tamil Tigers?
If planned bombing in the past are expertly being exposed by the police….saving lives and properties….why concerning Tamil Tigers..keep quiet..refused permit…just give warnings and then apply their brutalities..never heard even from less developed countries.
This is clear double standards…and now the Indians hate UMNO..it is twisted to mean hate the Malays…making it a racialist matter..totally not true.
Who is creating racial tensions in Malaysia….the Malaysians or UMNO?
